How do I setup my profile?
Why do you need my personal information?
On account setup, Stripe collects only the minimum information required. You may be asked to submit additional information such as a scan of your drivers license. You can read Stripe’s security and privacy policy directly here.
When are you coming to my local area?
Do you offer Paypal?
How much should I price my item?
Have a look at the product online – how cheaply can you buy it new? on Gumtree? On Ebay? How much have others listed your item for on our site? If it is the first time you are renting a product out, you might need to rent it slightly cheaper to attract your first ‘rating’.
Laterally consider your competitors – if you have a YoYo Stroller, your target market would include travellers who also have the option of buying a cheap travel pram.
Please remember, Kindershare charges a fee to cover the Kindershare Guarantee and the costs associated with managing the site.
What details should I include with my listing?
Ensure that you use actual photos of your products, rather than just photos from a website.Photos should also show any pre-existing wear and tear to avoid you misrepresenting the quality of your item to renters. Please keep in mind it is illegal to make statements that are incorrect or are likely to create a false impression – this is important not just with your product listing, but also any photos you provide.
What is the shipping option?
Is there anything that shouldn’t be rented out?
Items that are over 7 years old at the date of listing must not be listed on the site.Please refer to our Terms for additional information.
How can I maximise the amount of money I earn?
Make sure people know about Kindershare. If you are a member of a parents’ group online, let them know about Kindershare – even if you dont get a booking directly – another member will soon repay the favour to you!
Have a look around your house and think about all those items you have sitting around and are rarely using – is it something someone else might need for a while?
Keep in mind also that the rental market for lower-cost items is limited – if you can purchase an Ikea high chair for $30, how much would someone be willing to rent that from you?
